Who doesn’t love music’s crowning couple Beyonce and Jay-Z? Well, apparently some of their friends didn’t after the couple wed. Us Weekly reports that Jay-Z tells O Magazine that he and Beyonce’s small wedding offended some friends who weren’t invited.

The couple wed in a very small ceremony in Jay-Z NYC apartment with “very few” close friends and family. “The sad part is that we offended some,” he said of not inviting a lot of friends. “But people who love you understand. Because at the end of the day, it’s your day.” I think those friends eventually forgot about the offense though as Beyonce and Jay-Z threw a huge party afterward to celebrate. Yay for no earthquakes.

Jay-Z also talked about his rough childhood, which included selling drugs at the age of 13. “If anyone did become something like that, they moved out,” he said. “They never came back to share the wisdom of how they made it. If anyone made it, you never knew it. That’s why I’ve always said that if I become successful, I’d come back here, grab somebody, and show him how it can be done.”

Did you know he once escaped 3 bullets? “That was divine intervention. Divine intervention, and nobody knew how to shoot…. No one really practices shooting a TEC-9 machine gun, right? And when you’re a kid with little bony arms–no wonder nobody could aim.” I think all of his friends should forget about being offended cause if he weren’t here there would be no wedding to not have been invited to.

Plus, isn’t the huge party always the fun part? Honestly the ceremonies are usually so boring. Lovely, yes. But they just drag. Party is the best part.
